I start to feel weird when I’ve been away from the blog for too long. Isn’t THAT weird? I couldn’t stay away for a whole week! Here’s more lights from that crazy Christmas house I talked about in my last Cool Stuff post. And here’s Yoda again. Because this picture warrants repeating, like, forever.

WHAZZUP???

Andrew and I got Season 1 of ‘Homeland’ for Christmas from my ma. OMG. I see what the hype is about. Did you know that I’ve had a Damian Lewis obsession since way back in the day? Back from ‘Forsyte Saga’ days? I was ahead of the curve yo! Actually the people who liked him in 'Band of Brothers' were ahead of the curve. I missed that whole series, boo. I think he is the radicalest.

Can't wait to show you the haul of books we got for Christmas! I'm going to this place to go find some mince pies. It's not a proper holiday without mince pies. I have this bizarre need to feel Very British Indeed at Christmastime. (in addition to the bizarre need I have to feel British during the rest of the year.)

those are some crazzzy lights!! damian lewis makes my skin crawl...maybe its the evil lip curl or the red hair or the translucent skin covered in freckles. ghuh! i loved the forsytes. we are watching homeland too. not sure how i feel about it though, which is odd cause i usually love hbo tv. i don't like any of the characters. that is a problem. happy early new year!!

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously am totally enthralled by him in anything he's in. Both Andrew and I loved that show 'Life' he was on, before it got cancelled. Happy New Yrs! Julia woke up at 4am on christmas day. I'm ready for school to be back in session! tee hee :)

can you imagine?? they have their own radio station that you can listen to in their driveway!!! christmas was fun, but I have had some christmas revelations, which I will post about in another week or so. sounds mysterious, no?

I'm making myself not post anything on my blog, but that doesn't mean I stay away from FB... stupid FB.

The hubby and I tried to go all Britishy a few Christmases. We went Italian this year instead. We made lasagna and salad. I told the family it looked Christmasy, all red and green, then I realized that I first read about a lasagna and salad Christmas dinner - "It's red and green!" - in a Sweet Valley High super special edition.

yah ok, my internet addiction is so huge, that yep, I have been on FB way more than usual, due to not being on the blog so much. SIGH. Humans are dumb. What did we all do before the internet? I feel like things must have been much more productive. Like, instead of being online, I should learn how to sew. Or another language. OR SOMETHING USEFUL. aaaaaaagh. I'm having Post Traumatic Holiday Something. :)

we are brothers from another mother (not sure how the phrase translates to chicks :), seriously..

I'm totally either being British or Swedish :)

OOOOOH you MUST WATCH FORSYTE SAGA -- here's the brilliance of Damian Lewis -- seriously a messed up evil character -- and yet SO MUCH CHARISMA -- you just feel for him all the same. He was AMAZING in that role, you gotta see!!

Holy cow! Awesome lights. We have a great house to visit in our town too, with their lights synced to a radio station and stuff as well. GUESS WHAT I GOT FOR XMAS??!! Downton Abbey calendar and the new book!! Oh yeah baby!! :)

Happy Christmas Melissa at julias bookbag! We had a Christmas special of Downton on this side of the pond, but my youngest developed a temperature just before it started. Oh dear, I must admit I was torn between concern about him and my desperate need to catch up with Lady Mary (on holidays! In Scotland! With a cousin called Shrimpy!) Anyway, he has now recovered and I missed all but the last ten minutes. Which I will not tell you anything about. Except that it is all as sumptous and costume drama -ey as ever.

I also have a bizarre need to feel British at Christmastime, too! How lovely would it be to spend Christmas in England!!? And how nice that you have a British emporium close by. Are you in Portland or Seattle?

I want to be British too! Due to um, budget concerns, we paused our Dish subscription so I totally missed the Dr. Who Christmas episode. Whaaa! So do the British ever think the same about us across the pond?
